The girl in the photo recently wrote a book. She moved to the U.S. in her 20's I think.

Oops...double post. Just trying to get us to 100 pages.

Isn't it passed "around 3pm pst?"

i knew the photo but haven't seen it in a long time and never looked into banksy's source photos. i also don't have that print so i never looked at it in detail. when i saw the photo again i knew instantly what it was used in.

that's weird because a few seconds ago you said you "never saw the source photo" before.

Shep does drive a prius. I met him at my office a few months ago. very nice guy, really enjoyed his company. he even gave me a AP obama print!

Im very excited for this drop. A new high-detail print is what I have been waiting for.

This Obey thread really took a turn for the Banksy while I was away.

no, i've never looked into the source photos banksy uses because i don't really care - as in, comparing source photos to the print. i've never looked at one of his prints and then seen the source for it (other then the pulp fiction). i've seen the photo when i studied art and photography in school but haven't look at it until this afternoon while looking at vietnam photos to kill the time til the print drops... and when i saw it again i knew instantly that banksy used it....

SORRY MY BAD...

the print is being released "around" 3pm PST - not 6pm PST as i originally had written. i'm on the east coast and had 6pm on my mind but accidentally wrote 6pm PST instead of 6pm EST

no need to read 20 pages, its mentioned a few times on this page.

solar, your comment made me laugh. too bad it got deleted.
